Pain and inflammatory disorders are significant health problems because of prevalence and associated disabilities. In this context, LASSBio-596 is a hybrid compound able to modulate TNF-α and phosphodiesterases 4 and 5, exhibiting an anti-inflammatory effect in the pulmonary inflammatory model. Aiming at a better description of the activities of LASSBio-596, we initially conducted nociception tests (acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing, glutamate, and formalin-induced nociception and hot plate test) and later inflammatory tests (acute, peritonitis; and chronic, arthritis) that directed us to this last one. In the abdominal writhing test, there was a dose-dependent inhibition, whose response occurred at the maximum dose (50 mg/kg, p.o.), used in the subsequent tests. LASSBio-596 also inhibited nociception induced by chemical (glutamate by 31.9%; and formalin, in both phases, 1st phase: 25.7%; 2nd phase: 23.9%) and thermal agents (hotplate, by increased latency for pain at two different times). These effects were independent of the motor function, legitimated in rotarod. As there was a response in the inflammatory component of nociception, we performed the peritonitis test, in which migration was inhibited by LASSBio-596 by 39.9%. As the inflammatory process is present in autoimmune diseases, we also performed the arthritis test. LASSBio-596 reduced paw edema from the 15th day to the 21st day of treatment (no liver changes and with fewer paw injuries). In addition, LASSBio-596 decreased serum levels of TNF-α by 67.1%. These data demonstrated the antinociceptive effect of LASSBio-596 and reinforces its anti-inflammatory property (i.e., RA), amplifying the therapeutic potential of this molecule.

LASSBio-596 (2-[4-(1,4-thiazinan-4-ylsulfonyl) phenylcarbamoyl] benzoic acid) is a molecular hybrid of anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, and its anti-inflammatory effects have been demonstrated in experimental models of inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gastroprotective effect of LASSBio-596 in an ethanol-induced acute gastritis model. Before induction of gastric damage, mice were pretreated with LASSBio-596 (20 mg per os (p.o.), N_ω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME; 3 mg/kg, intraperitoneally [i.p.]) or with 1400W (10 mg/kg, i.p.) given alone or in their combinations. Thirty minutes later, gastric damage was induced by intragastric instillation of 50% ethanol (0.5 ml/25 g, by gavage). After 1 h, gastric damage (hemorrhagic or ulcerative lesions) was measured by planimetry. Samples of the stomach were also taken for histopathological assessment and for assays of tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory cytokines. Ethanol administration induced the development of gastric lesions in mice. LASSBio-596 reduced gastric damage, epithelial cell loss and hemorrhage, and restored the antioxidant defense system by decreasing the levels of MDA and the consumption of GSH in gastric mucosa. LASSBio-596 also decreased gastric TNF-α and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) protein levels, MPO enzymatic activity, and hemoglobin levels. Treatment with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitors L-NAME and 1400W reversed the effects of LASSBio-596 on ethanol-induced gastric lesions. LASSBio-596 did not alter mucus content and pH of gastric secretions. In summary, LASSBio-596 exerts protective effects against ethanol-induced gastric injury. The gastroprotective effects of LASSBio seem to be NO-dependent.

Microcystins-LR (MC-LR) is a cyanotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. We evaluated the antioxidant potential of LASSBio-596 (LB-596, inhibitor of phosphodiesterases 4 and 5), per os, and biochemical markers involved in lung and liver injury induced by exposure to sublethal dose of MC-LR. Fifty male Swiss mice received an intraperitoneal injection of 60 μL of saline (CTRL group, n = 20) or a sublethal dose of MC-LR (40 μg/kg, TOX group, n = 20). After 6 h the animals received either saline (TOX and CTRL groups) or LB-596 (50 mg/kg, TOX + LASS group, n = 10) by gavage. At 6 h after exposure, respiratory mechanics was evaluated in 10 CTRL and 10 TOX mice: there was a significant increase of all lung mechanics parameters (static elastance, viscoelastic component of elastance and lung resistive and viscoelastic/inhomogeneous pressures) in TOX compared to CTRL. 8 h after saline or MC-LR administration, i.e., 2 h after treatment with LB-596, blood serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and content of malondialdehyde and carbonyl in lung and liver, NADPH oxidase 2 and 4 mRNA expressions, dual oxidase enzyme activity and H₂O₂ generation were analyzed in lung homogenates. All parameters were significantly higher in TOX than in the other groups. There was no significant difference between CTRL and TOX + LASS. MC-LR deteriorated lung and liver functions and induced redox imbalance in them, which was prevented by oral administration of LB-596.
